The power of a woman - where does it really lie? An interesting poem on the power of women.
The Power of a Woman Is in the eye contact she makes Is also in the eye contact she refuses to make
The Power of a Woman Is in the smile that says so little, and yet so much Is in the silences which say nothing, but communicates so much Is in the words which mean nothing, and yet mean so much Is in the actions which say it all, and yet don’t give it all away
The Power of a Woman Is in what she knows Is in what she chooses to share Is in what she chooses not to share Is in what she knows and how she says it Is sometimes in what she does not know Is sometimes in what she chooses not to know And is sometimes in what she knows, and chooses not to say it
The Power of a Woman Is in the many secrets she knows Is in her own secrets that no one knows
The Power of a Woman Is in the money she holds Is in the money she controls Is in the money she spends Is in the money she saves
The Power of a Woman Is in the choices she can make Is in the decisions she can influence (with a smile, nod, blink or word)
The Power of a Woman Is in the way she thinks Is in the way she nurtures Is in the way she cares Is in the way she loves Is in the way she endures Is in the way she asserts Is in the way she braves Is in the way she questions Is in the way she answers Is in the way she responds Is in what she can give you Is in what she can take away from you
The Power of a Woman It exists You can see it You can feel it You can hear about it You can experience it But yet, you CANNOT DEFINE IT
What do you think is the real power of a woman?

Motherhood is considered a beautiful blessing. Being able to create a new life is indeed beautiful and divine. We have seen in movies, advertisements, stories, everywhere… where motherhood is glorified and a mother is considered an epitome of tolerance and sacrifice.

The first short film in the latest Amazon Prime anthology – Modern Love Mumbai( inspired by the much acclaimed Modern love column of New York Times) is titled “Raat Rani” deriving it’s name from the fragrant night-blooming jasmine flower.
*A few spoilers
Director Shonali Bose uses this flower as not just a plot point but also a metaphor for her protagonist Lalzari (a fiesty Fatima Sana Shiekh), a Muslim migrant worker from Kashmir who has eloped with her husband Lutfi to the city of dreams, Mumbai. She works as a cook-cum-nanny and her husband as a watchman in a Mumbai high-rise. After work they spend time with each other gazing at the sea, sharing ice-cream and taking a scooter ride back home, to their kholi, on which they have spent all their earnings.
